| As meal packaging slowly resumes across the country, we are thrilled to see our volunteers again — even from a social distance! Volunteer groups are the backbone of our work, and after 550+ meal packaging events were canceled this spring due to COVID-19, we couldn’t wait to get back together to package transformational meals for distribution worldwide. But while meal packaging is back in action, millions of meals that were not able to be packaged in recent months represent a significant loss to children and families we serve. As the number of people facing food insecurity continues to rise during COVID-19, we recognize that hunger won’t wait until later this fall, or next year, for us to catch up. We committed to sending 22 million meals to countries including Colombia, Haiti, Nicaragua and Uganda this year, and we are looking for 500 meal sponsors this week to help replenish our inventory. Can we count on you? |
